DESCRIPTION

15       Simulates a split-flap display, an old style of electromechanical  sign
16       as  seen  in  airports  and  train stations, and commonly used in alarm
17       clocks in the 1960s and 1970s.

OPTIONS

20       -visual visual
21               Specify which visual to use.  Legal values are the  name  of  a
22               visual  class,  or the id number (decimal or hex) of a specific
23               visual.
24
25       -window Draw on a newly-created window.  This is the default.
26
27       -root   Draw on the root window.
28
29       -delay number
30               Per-frame delay, in microseconds.  Default:  20000  (0.02  sec‐
31               onds).
32
33       -speed number
34               Animation  speed.   2.0  means twice as fast, 0.5 means half as
35               fast.
36
37       -width number
38               Columns of the display.  Default: 22.
39
40       -height number
41               Rows of the display. Default: 8.
42
43       -mode clock12
44               Display a 12-hour clock.
45
46       -mode clock24
47               Display a 24-hour clock.
48
49       -front | -no-front
50               When spinning, never spin all the way around  or  upside  down:
51               always face mostly forward so that the text is easily readable.
52               This is the default.
53
54       -no-front
55               Allow spins to go all the way around or upside down.
56
57       -wander | -no-wander
58               Whether the object should wander around the screen.
59
60       -spin   Which axes around which the text should spin.  The  default  is
61               "XYZ",  meaning rotate it freely in space.  "-spin Z" would ro‐
62               tate the text in the plane of the screen while not rotating  it
63               into or out of the screen; etc.
64
65       -wireframe | -no-wireframe
66               Render in wireframe instead of solid.
67
68       -fps | -no-fps
69               Whether  to  show  a frames-per-second display at the bottom of
70               the screen.
71
